Pampered By My Fake Boyfriend's Brother-Chapter 20: The Person of Bitter Fate

Next, neither of them discussed the matter.

Jiang Keke took a dress and went to the bathroom.

An Yin came to the door and hesitated, "You haven't been coming back to sleep these days." There's no need to think too hard; she must have been staying at Bao Cheng's place. An Yin couldn't help but worry.

"I... I'm going to a film crew to shoot during the winter break, right? So these days, after class, I have to study acting in the evening. It's a bit busy, so I'm directly staying at Bao Cheng's place. It's not far from school anyway, don't worry." Jiang Keke explained behind the door.

In fact, only she knew that she had been cuddling with Bao Cheng all this time, and she rarely attended those acting classes.

Thinking of this, Jiang Keke couldn't help but glance down at the skin below her neck—a patchwork of red marks that anyone with eyes could tell were left by a man.

Staring at herself in the mirror, Jiang Keke blushed and lowered her head, softly scolding coquettishly, "Bastard, always like this, how am I supposed to face people!" Although her words were scolding, her unmasked smile betrayed her; she was clearly enjoying it!

On the other side, An Yin heard her friend's words and said with concern, "Don't tire yourself out, have a proper rest."

An Yin's voice was soft and gentle, very comforting to listen to.

"Mm!" Jiang Keke blushed and responded.

She truly was tired, but... it wasn't from studying acting. Some things she wouldn't dare tell her girlfriend even if they killed her, Jiang Keke contemplated.

When Jiang Keke came out of the bathroom, An Yin looked at her, not noticing anything amiss at first.

Normally, Jiang Keke rarely wore high-necked dresses, so why today? This thought merely flashed by, and An Yin didn't think too much about it.

Instead, as soon as Jiang Keke came out, she looked at her with a sparkling gaze, full of gossip, "You've been getting close with Su Yifeng lately, huh, something going on?"

As a prominent figure at school, Jiang Keke had heard of Su Yifeng before and had even seen him. But she wasn't familiar with him. Last time, during An Aunt's illness, seeing Su Yifeng by her side shocked her. Although An Yin later explained they were just ordinary friends, the way Su Yifeng looked at An Yin was full of love, undeniable. Jiang Keke was busy dating then and didn't expose Su Yifeng's intentions.

Now that she had a boyfriend herself, she suddenly wanted to matchmake her friend with Su Yifeng. After all, Su Yifeng was a pretty good choice in terms of looks and background.

The more Jiang Keke thought about it, the more enthusiastic she became about playing matchmaker!

"He's nice, but I just want to focus on my studies right now!" An Yin's eyes were plain, with no ripples, and she didn't take Jiang Keke's teasing seriously.

Of course, An Yin knew Jiang Keke's playful personality; the more you explain, the more she gossips!

Jiang Keke's enthusiasm quickly dissipated.

It was obvious that An Yin's romantic inclinations hadn't budged. It looked like Su Yifeng still had a long way to go to succeed in pursuing An Yin!

Jiang Keke silently cheered for Su Yifeng in her heart.

"Forget it, let's go to class! The first class today is Old Demon's." Jiang Keke adjusted her dress and threw on a jacket, linking arms with An Yin.

An Yin smiled, "Let's go."

"Old Demon" was the nickname students privately used for Professor Qin, because he never smiled during class and was very strict with latecomers, showing no leniency whatsoever.

It was said that no one at school had ever seen him smile, showing how rigid this Professor Qin was!

Because of this, everyone respected and feared him!

When Jiang Keke reached the stairwell, she remembered someone's desk and couldn't help but ask, "Is Shi Qing back?"

"Returned last night." An Yin nodded.

"So annoying!" Jiang Keke said with a face full of frustration, "As long as she's around, we have to be careful back in the dormitory not to disturb her studying. Who told her to be the top student!"

Previously, Jiang Keke and Shi Qing had clashed over turning off the lights for sleep. Now seeing Shi Qing back in the dorm, Jiang Keke couldn't help but feel averse.

"It's alright; you haven't been staying here lately anyway, so don't worry." An Yin blicked her big eyes and glanced at her.

"I'm just worried about you, that's all. Who told you to be a pushover?" Jiang Keke looked at her with an expression of disappointment.

"She's not bad." An Yin lowered her head and said weakly.

Before An Yin even finished speaking, Jiang Keke flared up.

"Whose side are you on anyway? I'm the one feeling bad for you, you ungrateful little thing, humph..." Jiang Keke let go of An Yin's hand and acted angry.

"Oh Keke, I'm on your side, don't be mad!" An Yin hurriedly reached out to grab her in a pleading gesture.

Jiang Keke turned her head, momentarily stunned by her friend's fair, pure face.

Indeed, beauty is misleading!

"Fine, I forgive you!" Jiang Keke retracted herself, secretly sighing at her own lack of backbone.

An Yin chuckled softly.

The two of them walked downstairs together.

At the corner of the stairs, a lonely figure slowly descended, step by step. Whether she heard Jiang Keke and An Yin's conversation just now, no one knew.

Her hair draped over her shoulders, giving her a careless, breezy look. Tall and lean, she wore a faded tracksuit that wrapped around her slender body. Most striking was her pair of black-rimmed glasses, masking her true features. One could only glimpse her sharp chin and the white skin peeking from her neck; she was undeniably pale and clean...

At this moment, she held a few books in her hands, her whole demeanor exuding aloofness.

When she reached the first floor, she encountered the Dormitory Aunt coming her way.

"Shi Qing." The Dormitory Aunt eyed her with a look of wanting to say something but held back.

"Aunt Zhang." Shi Qing, hearing her name, faced up blankly and called out.

The Dormitory Aunt looked around, seeing no one in the corridor, she stepped up to Shi Qing with her mouth covered and said softly, "Some things I don't want to say, not wanting to come across as nagging. But since we are neighbors, your mom keeps calling me to persuade you to send some money back. I..." Aunt Zhang sighed, shook her head, "Child, you have a hard life, dealing with such parents."

After speaking, the Dormitory Aunt saw no response from her except a slight frown, which she quickly left, knowing her message had been delivered.

Shi Qing stood in her spot, dazed for a few seconds, clutching her books tightly, the veins on her pale hands popping, but this state only lasted for a moment.

Then, she took a deep breath, raised her steps, and headed towards the teaching building.

Her calm face showed no trace of what just happened, completely unruffled!
